Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down there.
Adapun Yusuf telah dibawa ke Mesir; dan Potifar, seorang Mesir, pegawai istana Firaun, kepala pengawal raja, membeli dia dari tangan orang Ismael yang telah membawa dia ke situ.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
Tetapi TUHAN menyertai Yusuf, sehingga ia menjadi seorang yang selalu berhasil dalam pekerjaannya; maka tinggallah ia di rumah tuannya, orang Mesir itu.
3 And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.
Setelah dilihat oleh tuannya, bahwa Yusuf disertai TUHAN dan bahwa TUHAN membuat berhasil segala sesuatu yang dikerjakannya,
4 And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.
maka Yusuf mendapat kasih tuannya, dan ia boleh melayani dia; kepada Yusuf diberikannya kuasa atas rumahnya dan segala miliknya diserahkannya pada kekuasaan Yusuf.
5 And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.
Sejak ia memberikan kuasa dalam rumahnya dan atas segala miliknya kepada Yusuf, TUHAN memberkati rumah orang Mesir itu karena Yusuf, sehingga berkat TUHAN ada atas segala miliknya, baik yang di rumah maupun yang di ladang.
6 And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.
Segala miliknya diserahkannya pada kekuasaan Yusuf, dan dengan bantuan Yusuf ia tidak usah lagi mengatur apa-apapun selain dari makanannya sendiri. Adapun Yusuf itu manis sikapnya dan elok parasnya.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.
Selang beberapa waktu isteri tuannya memandang Yusuf dengan berahi, lalu katanya: "Marilah tidur dengan aku."
8 But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:
Tetapi Yusuf menolak dan berkata kepada isteri tuannya itu: "Dengan bantuanku tuanku itu tidak lagi mengatur apa yang ada di rumah ini dan ia telah menyerahkan segala miliknya pada kekuasaanku,
9 and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?
bahkan di rumah ini ia tidak lebih besar kuasanya dari padaku, dan tiada yang tidak diserahkannya kepadaku selain dari pada engkau, sebab engkau isterinya. Bagaimanakah mungkin aku melakukan kejahatan yang besar ini dan berbuat dosa terhadap Allah?"
10 And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,
Walaupun dari hari ke hari perempuan itu membujuk Yusuf, Yusuf tidak mendengarkan bujukannya itu untuk tidur di sisinya dan bersetubuh dengan dia.
11 it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.
Pada suatu hari masuklah Yusuf ke dalam rumah untuk melakukan pekerjaannya, sedang dari seisi rumah itu seorangpun tidak ada di rumah.
12 And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.
Lalu perempuan itu memegang baju Yusuf sambil berkata: "Marilah tidur dengan aku." Tetapi Yusuf meninggalkan bajunya di tangan perempuan itu dan lari ke luar.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,
Ketika dilihat perempuan itu, bahwa Yusuf meninggalkan bajunya dalam tangannya dan telah lari ke luar,
14 that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
dipanggilnyalah seisi rumah itu, lalu katanya kepada mereka: "Lihat, dibawanya ke mari seorang Ibrani, supaya orang ini dapat mempermainkan kita. Orang ini mendekati aku untuk tidur dengan aku, tetapi aku berteriak-teriak dengan suara keras.
15 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.
Dan ketika didengarnya bahwa aku berteriak sekeras-kerasnya, ditinggalkannyalah bajunya padaku, lalu ia lari ke luar."
16 So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
Juga ditaruhnya baju Yusuf itu di sisinya, sampai tuan rumah pulang.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.
Perkataan itu jugalah yang diceritakan perempuan itu kepada Potifar, katanya: "Hamba orang Ibrani yang kaubawa ke mari itu datang kepadaku untuk mempermainkan aku.
18 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
Tetapi ketika aku berteriak sekeras-kerasnya, ditinggalkannya bajunya padaku, lalu ia lari ke luar."
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry.
Baru saja didengar oleh tuannya perkataan yang diceritakan isterinya kepadanya: begini begitulah aku diperlakukan oleh hambamu itu, maka bangkitlah amarahnya.
20 And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.
Lalu Yusuf ditangkap oleh tuannya dan dimasukkan ke dalam penjara, tempat tahanan-tahanan raja dikurung. Demikianlah Yusuf dipenjarakan di sana.
21 And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favor in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.
Tetapi TUHAN menyertai Yusuf dan melimpahkan kasih setia-Nya kepadanya, dan membuat Yusuf kesayangan bagi kepala penjara itu.
22 And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatever they do there, he did them.
Sebab itu kepala penjara mempercayakan semua tahanan dalam penjara itu kepada Yusuf, dan segala pekerjaan yang harus dilakukan di situ, dialah yang mengurusnya.
23 Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
Dan kepala penjara tidak mencampuri segala yang dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf, karena TUHAN menyertai dia dan apa yang dikerjakannya dibuat TUHAN berhasil.
